TOOLS & TOOLING FEATURE ERGONOMIC TOOL BALANCERS C


hicago Pneumatic has launched a range of air line accessories for its handheld pneumatic tools. The Air Flex swivel connectors which connect the air


hose to the base of the tool make rigid hoses more flexible and multi-directional. TheIr use helps to improve MRO professionals’ work ergonomics while providing users with a 360° rotational capacity to increase productivity and ease of use in difficult to reach places. The Air Flex swivel connector range is available in


three sizes: 1/4” (with or without a cover), 3/8” and a 1/2” and is capable of withstanding air pressure from 25 cfm up to 74cfm (12 l/s up to 35 l/s). The additional flexibility that the connectors provide ensures that the air hose does not become twisted and remains in the ideal working position, helping to reduce the risk of tendinitis for the user. In addition, the connector reduces wear to hoses as they are not being twisted, thereby providing reliable operation over a long service life.


The Air Flex range is ideal for handheld pneumatic


tools including impact wrenches, ratchet wrenches, screwdrivers, grinders and drills.
